25-Years-Later, This Is What The “Edward Scissorhands” Neighborhood Looks Like
In these modern CGI times, it’s often difficult to figure out where a film was shot. But Voodrew, real name Andrew Cremeans, grew up in the northern Tampa, Florida neighborhood where the 1990 film “Edward Scissorhands” starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, was shot. Recently, Cremeans took a walk through his old neighborhood to hunt down locations from the movie.
“I couldn’t believe how small of a section the suburban neighborhood was used, it seemed so huge in the movie,” he told Mashable. “It feels especially small when you are standing and looking down the street to the cul de sac the castle was on….I caught myself wondering many times if all these people know that their house was in the movie set.”
Over five million trees now grow in the Pasco County subdivision, significantly altering the landscape. Cremeans says that he was inspired by Reddit user stupidtrooper’s photo series on filming locations, and the fact that it’s the film’s 25th anniversary; Cremeans’ mother was the film’s on-call doctor.

Share on FacebookNow I remember why I didn't like the look of the neighborhood back then....NO trees!! Gotta live with trees!
even though there was no tree, at least the houses were stylish, now it's all depressing and flat...

Am I the only one upset by this? The neighborhood went from fab to drab!
Those houses weren't originally those colors, were painted for the movie
